Stock has done nothing for years with all of these great assets.
whether we're talking about GE, whether we're talking about so many of these companies, that it's time to wonder, is the sum of the parts trailing the valuation of the whole?
Maybe they do go with everything and just form some sort of perpetual marketing agreement so they can use the IP of the studios and the parks.
But I really think that there's going to be some sort of a spin-out of media or some sort of a separation of Disney
I'm going to say we're going to hear something about this in the next couple of years, but definitely in the next five years.
